An accidental success!

 On Sunday there were lots of little girls wearing their new Easter dresses.  My husband saw one and asked me if I could make one like it.  I said um..... sure.  I couldn't back down from the challenge so Monday while my students were working on their sewing projects, I started looking in the scrap bin for something I could use.  I took a chalk pencil and started drawing out the pieces on the fabric.  I cut them out, sewed them together and tada!!!  This is what it became.  I added the cute turquoise ribbon and flower around the high waist and then to poof out the skirt I added some matching tulle. It is one of my favorites! And the best part is that it actually fits a child.  It is a 12 month size.   I can't wait to make more.  :)  If you like this one send me an email!  It's only $25.00!!

Opinion Time

One of my neighbors was wearing a skirt in this style last week and I liked it so much I wanted to make one like it.  So I rummaged through my fabric stash here at the house and found this combination.  Thanks to my sister for taking measurements of my nieces so I had something to go off of.  So here's where you come in.  Do you like this style?  Should I make more in different colors or should I find something else to make? 

Quilt Raffle

I am raffling this quilt off to help one of my students get to the National FCCLA Conference in California this summer.  She is an awesome student from a single parent home who deserves to go on this trip but cannot unless we help her.  If you would like to buy a raffle ticket click on the donate button in the side bar.  Tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00.  Thank you in advance for your support.

New Dresses

 NEW!!  Baby size!  I begged my sister into letting me use her 9 month old baby as my model for this one.  She's a chunky monkey (I say that with all the love in my heart!  I LOVE chunky babies) so she is wearing a 12 month size.  Baby size is only $10.00

For the rest of the pictures, my sister got one of her neighbors who has lots of little girls to bring her girls over to model.  They too, are GREAT models.  So cute!  Dresses are $20.00
